First ride on Park!

admin — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 05:09:03 +0000

Went out for our first ride today to Park mountain. Overall it was a good day and obviously awesome to get on the sleds again, however the mountains definately needs a lot more snow! We chose to go up to the cabin then head to top towards the radio tower. Although we could have made it the whole way, we found far too many hidden land-mines that started to become quite irritating. I would have to guess aprox. 2.5 to 3′ of snow. Based on today I would say the season is upon us!

Here’s a few pics.

Early season report!

Although it’s early, we had a few people out today and reported that there was definately enough snow to play around a bit. Looks like the season can begin!

Almost time to go!

The snow is flying! Check out the web cams up at Silver Star, the ground is covering up nicely. If this keeps up over the next couple of weeks I would think we could plan a first test ride day! Anyone game?

Yahoo! It’s time to start thinking about snow.

Summer is over, and the snow is starting to appear in the mountains. Silver Star has a light dusting covering it right now, so it’s definately on the way. In previous years we have been able to get out for a first ride near the middle of November, not sure if it’ll happen this year but we can all hope.

I will be updating the site here soon to try and fill it out. This year I am hoping to get lots of photos and videos posted up. We had a couple of people (will remain un-named for Brad and Jason’s sake), who took a lot of video last year but seemed to busy to send it on over. Nudge! Nudge!

What a great day. Fresh snow everywhere and some sunny points through out the day as well. Sure wish I got out more this spring, but there is still a few more good weekends left to go before all the snow starts melting away.

Sunday: March 6th Ride

What’s the plan?

Hunters Poker Run: Results

Rob — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 22:44:14 +0000

Overall the day was good. A little chilly at times, but the snow condition and riding quickly had us forgetting about the cold. As for the Poker Run itself, I still am left thinking it’s fixed! We were among the first to submit our cards in the morning and even with my 3 queens on one card, and 2 pair on another, I was already beaten by a Royal Flush (something seems fishy there). Door prizes were supposed to happen at 2pm, however we were there at 1:45 and staying until about 2:30 and no door prizes. Hate to sound bitter, but I’m not sure I’ll participate next year. Possibly some better planning might help out.

Back to the riding though… It was just Rob and Dean and we found quite a bit of untouched powder to play in, and we even got a bit of sun during various times throughout the day. Hands down the trail ride back down brash was awesome. The road had been plowed for the logging activity, but had a recent snowfall on it so it was smooth as can be. We were even able to find some untouched areas on the way down that demanded us to tear it up!

Hunters Poker Run

Rob — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 23:43:05 +0000

The Hunters Range Poker is happening this Sunday (Jan. 30th). Who’s all thinking about going? We never seem to win anything, but who knows can win without playing.

Weather shows like it should be a good day, and I would think they will probably have the trail all groomed up.

Send in an email if you’re coming!

Jan 23rd: Results #2

Report from Brad’s group:

The weekend was awesome, with sunny days all day. We went past the booth on the main road to about 16 km , that will be the place to go ever time. A little foggy in the morning, but the sun came out for the rest of the day. We rode in powder all day and even found some fields that were not touched. We all had a great day and got down from the hill at 4.30 we just didnt want to leave. We rode hard all day and got stuck a few times. We went all over the mountain , even to the top to the bottom, we rode every were and had a blast. Brendan at the end of the day rode my m8 around and around with his ass dragging in the snow , it was so funny to watch. There was Jesse, Jarrod , Brendan , Jason ,Brad. awesome day boys. We had a blast.
